can the focus change over time? I would think that the AF adjustment might need changing with the seasons. Temperature, humidity, age, wear, will probably all affect the mechanical alignment of the lens and camera focusing mechanisms. Thing is, does it make enough difference to warrant regular a...

talking of focus calibration.......has anyone had to do this more than once? my K5 seems to be slightly out of focus now, can the focus change over time? It's certainly possible. I rechecked all my lenses on both K-5's a year or so after the first calibration and was pleased to see the settings...

Hi guys, just read the article with interest as I have problems with my K7, I tried some portraits today with just the 55mmf1.4. In the open shade just about all shots were out of focus. Moved a meter into a little sunlight and all is fine. I can see from the shots it is not camera shake as the whol...

I can see from the shots it is not camera shake as the whole shot is out of focus. If camera shake is to blame the whole shot will be out of focus. Was this hand held or tripod and what shutter speed were you using.?

Thanks for the reply:-) hand held 1/2000@f2 iso200. I will have to have a go on a tripod and check. Thanks again, Ian If you took it at 1/2000, it is highly unlikely to be camera shake. I had problems with my K-5 (no longer owned) whereby it would focus differently on the same subject with the same...

Advice on K5 II purchase
Hi guys, after seeing the bargain offer on Amazon for a K5 II and kit lens for under £500 I think it's finally time to upgrade from my trusty K10d. Just a few Q's. I am a "travel photographer" more or less. I rarely use my camera unless I am going away for a weekend or more. So I probably o...

K5II disappearing in the US.

K5II disappearing in the US.
It's a shame the K5 II has been discontinued. I've been using my K200D for nearly five years and the shortcomings in AF and high ISO are making more of an impact in my photography. I'd thought to upgrade to a K5 II in a year or so but now that won't be possible (at least new), and the likelihood o...

This isn't the place to discuss what FF camera might be best as it's a forum for Pentax Users....I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to contemplate buying anything so expensive to see what the fuss was about, with or without an eye to swapping back. Better to buy a K-3, which is a superb camera and which ...

It's very simple really If I use a Pentax lens on a Sony body does that stop me then being a Pentax user??? Likewise if I use a Sigma lens on a Pentax body does that make me a Sigma or a Pentax user??? So is it the camera body that makes you a Pentax user or the lens, as it cannot be the senso...

I currently have a K-x that has done beautifully over the past 3-4 years but I want to upgrade to a full-frame camera. As every man and his dog on this forum knows (apologies for the induced teeth gnashing in readers) Pentax doesn't look to be producing anything in this arena anytime soon (please n...
